The Photograph That Solved the Presti Family Murders

🧡 I GOT MY SPOTIFY BACK!! Important message - which is also included in this video. I have NOT had access to this account for the past couple of years. I had no control over the posting schedule, the videos chosen, the days, or anything! Not even the titles or thumbnails or how the videos would cut off. That changes from THIS day forward. This is Kimbyrleigha from True Crime with Kimbyr. I write, research, film, and edit all original content that appears on this Spotify account as well as Darklivity Podcast and Candidly Kimbyr. Check them all out!

About This Case: In January 2004, in the quiet Boston suburb of Woburn, Massachusetts, 34-year-old Joanne Presti and her 12-year-old daughter Alyssa were found dead inside their home on Totman Drive. Joanne was a devoted single mother, protective, family-centered, the kind of woman whose whole world was her kids. Alyssa was a straight-A student and a cheerleader, twelve years old and still happiest helping her mom around the house.

They were killed just days into the new year, and the neighborhood couldn't understand why. Who would target this family? Investigators worked through a long list of people who had moved through Joanne's life: exes, a former husband, neighbors, anyone who'd ever been close enough to get through the door. For a while, the answer stayed just out of reach.

And then they found something inside the house. One small piece of evidence that pointed, quietly and undeniably, in a direction no one had let themselves consider.

This week, the story of Joanne and Alyssa Presti: who they were, what happened on Totman Drive, and the discovery that finally exposed the truth.
